In a common emitter configuration with suitable bias, it is given than R.L, is the load resistance and RBE is small signal dynamic resistance (input side). Then, voltage gain, current gain and power gain are given, respectively, by:β is current gain, IB ,IC and IE are respectively base, collector and emitter currents:
A. βRBERL,ΔIBΔIE,β2RBERL
B. β2RBERL,ΔIBΔIC,βRBERL
C. β2RBERL,ΔIEΔIC,β2RBERL
D. βRBERL,ΔIBΔIC,β2RBERL
Solution
You need to calculate the voltage and current gain using their formulas, and for the power gain, you need to use the voltage and current gain. In common emitter transistors, the emitter is common between the input circuit and the input circuit.
Complete step by step answer:
The base is at the input side, and the collector is on the output side. And any gain can be calculated by dividing the output value to the input value. The input circuit consists of the base and emitter while the output circuit consists of emitter and collector.
Here the current gain is given, that means it is the io of input current and output current. In common emitter transistors, the input current is IB, and the output current is IC.
The current gain is the ratio of collector current to the base current, and it is given by the formula β=IBIC
The voltage gain is the ratio of collector-emitter voltage to the base-emitter voltage, and it is given by the formula
VoltageGain=VBEVCE
So,VoltageGain=βRBERL
The power of any electrical circuit is given by voltage multiplied by the current. Similarly, The Power Gain is also calculated by multiplying the voltage gain and current gain. It is now given by
Powergain=voltagegain×currentgain
So , Powergain=β2RBERL
So, the correct answer is “Option B”.
Note:
You may go wrong in calculating the power gain here because power gain is based on voltage gain and current gain. We know that any gain can be calculated by dividing output by input. But power gain can’t be calculated by output power to input power.
